Seen as there is enough rust spread around this one it is inevitable that piece by piece she will be rebuilt, suppose it's only fair to start a loooooong term project thread.

Picked this up for a decent price (I think).

No tax or MOT yet. Just put some new shoes on her so I can at least drive her to a centre. Going to do a few little jobs and then get it in for a test and see what she gets picked up on.

Had time to get some daylight pics now.

As she was before being picked up.



On arrival to mine.



Now for the Rust with a hint of green areas.

Headlights:






Scuttle, wings and A panels:

The Sills:

I currently have zero welding skills although I am a dab hand with a lighter and deodorant can.

I will be getting a welder and some knackered panels for a bit of learn whilst doing.

stage 1 has been done - new boots all round.





Just wondering how bad this rust actually is. The sills don't look pretty which is a big concern for me!!
